The purpose of life is to love with all of your heart and soul. No matter when the end of my days came, I would be able to say I’d done just that. My daughters would know their father loved them. And that would be my legacy.

For a Good Time Call
Ever see For a good time call scribbled on the bathroom wall of a bar? Sure you have. Ever wonder what would happen if you had a few too many drinks and actually called the number? Well now you don’t have to wonder anymore, because I’ll tell you… It blows up in your face when you suddenly realize who Mr. Good Time is.

The acknowledgements are always the hardest part of the book to write. There are simply too many people that contribute to the success of a book, and it’s impossible to properly thank each and every one.
First and foremost, I need to thank the readers all over the world who continue to support and promote my books. Your support and encouragement are my reasons for continuing this journey. And to all of the book bloggers who work tirelessly to support me book after book, please know how much I appreciate you.
To Vi – You’re the best friend and partner in crime that I could ask for. Without you as a sounding board, I would undoubtedly have gone crazy a long time ago. Well, crazier. ;-) I’m a lucky girl!
To Julie – Thank you for your friendship and for always inspiring me with your amazing writing, outlook, and for always being just a click away.
To Luna –Thank you for your love and support, day in and day out. You continue to be an inspiration in showing me that anything is possible if you put your mind to it.

To Cheri – An amazing friend and supporter. Thanks for always looking out for me and never forgetting a Wednesday. Can’t wait to hopefully see you this year!
To Darlene – I am so grateful to have met you, and it has nothing to do with the delicious Medjool dates you send me, but rather your valued friendship.

To Julia Griffis of The Romance Bibliophile – Your eagle eye is amazing. Thank you for being so wonderful to work with.
To my assistant Brooke – Thank you for hard work in handling all of the things Vi and I can’t seem to ever get to. We appreciate you so much!
To Kylie and Jo at Give Me Books – You guys are truly the best out there! Thank you for your tireless promotional work. I would be lost without you.
To Letitia Hasser of RBA Designs – My awesome cover designer. Thank you for always working with me until the finished product exactly perfect.
To my husband – Thank you for always taking on so much more than you should have to so that I am able to write. I love you so much.
